I love Craigslist

I got an AWESOME deal yesterday on craiglist. There were 2 different posts for outdoor play equipment. One was a Castle with slide and sandbox ($10) and the other was a toddler slide and swing ($15). They were posted at about midnight but it said not to call until after 5:00pm. I called right at 5:00pm and got his voicemail that said the first person to call after 5 would be the winner. So, I left a message. I kept calling and finally got an answer at 5:03, but he told me they were gone, he hadn't had time to check his messages yet, but he knew it was already gone. (I know this is a long story, bear with me). I thought that I was not the winner and I was kinda bummed about it. But then, I got a call at 5:50 and he told me that I was the winner! YAY!!! I was/am so excited. Kate will probably get more use out of these things next summer; but after playing on Brennan's slide, I know she will enjoy them this year too! I don't have pictures of them in our back yard yet, but here are some pics of the items.
